Dave Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'd rather play kids than sign trash like Pieters who'll just take up a squad spot and then be a pain to shift. Ashley won't even invest in the academy, and has told Rafa as much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley won't even invest in the academy, and has told Rafa as much. Yes and as thirsty as I am for signings there is a point where the bar is so low I'd rather disengage. Like Klavan and Pieters. If we're shit we're shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 One of the top post on r/soccer is discussing out lack of squad depth. Someone described Joselu as a poundland Shola, which was amusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 They'll use Liam Gibson as the back up left back, complete with telling that inspirational story every time he's in the squad to make it all okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Going into 18/19 without the number 10/competition for number 10 that we’ve needed since the moment it was obvious that De Jong was made of papier mache. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Should have been in for Lucas Perez at £4 million. But who needs depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronicle reckon we wouldn’t pay the asking price https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/rafa-benitez-left-seething-deadline-15008731 However, even the simplest deals have proved to be tough for Rafa. Stanley N’Soki of PSG has fallen through, again because of the asking price, this time £9million. Federico Fernández was a straight-forward deal too but Newcastle aren’t keen on paying £10million for the Swansea defender. As deadline day loomed Benitez asked to sign two players at cut-price in Ragnar Klavan of Liverpool and an old target in Erik Pieters of Stoke City, but again hit a brick wall according to sources close to the deals in Holland and Estonia. Benitez has laboured the point long enough with three diplomatic Press conferences underlining the need for more players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Going into 18/19 without the number 10/competition for number 10 that we’ve needed since the moment it was obvious that De Jong was made of papier mache. I’m praying that Muto can act as some sort of no10 or just slightly off Rondon. Seems like the type that will press but no idea what his creativity/bringing others into the game is like. But aye, tragic we’ve not added creativity to this squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronicle reckon we wouldn’t pay the asking price Either way, it took two months to find out he wasn't interested/cost too much. I think they could have done that within 24 hrs if they really wanted.
